Green faeces...why?

Question

I went to the bathroom and noticed that it was the color of green. I haven't been having stomach pains or anything. What would cause this? I recently started taking Vitamin C everyday in tablet form.

Well I did have this blue frosting from the bakery on a cake. Perhaps that's what's causing it.

Answer 1

My kids have green feces all the time if they eat of drink something blue..for example..fruit roll-ups or Hawaiin punch in blue. Think back...it could be artificial coloring.

Answer 2

Okay, not to worry you, but if it continues, get a checkup. Green in the feces, as my doctor told me once, can be a sign of dried blood in the stool. If the vitamin c was causing you distress in your colon or something, that might be a problem. Or my Dr. was some sort of quack.

But the vegetables answers sound much more fun.

Answer 3

Vitamins can change the color or your bowel movements. Also, depending on the shade pf green, certain veggies can cause this.

Answer 4

sometimes the more green veggies you eat can make your bowl movements green or that's the way of your body getting rid of iron. if you consume a little to much in iron rich foods the body turns it to waste and therefore you have green poop! nothing to worry about. its a healthy thing.
